Seminar Overview
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful yet focused and containing.
Brainspotting identifies activated eye positions designated as Brainspots. Located through either one or both eyes, Brainspots are observed from either the "Inside Window" of the client's felt sense and/or the "Outside Window" of the client's reflexive responses (i.e., blink, eye twitches or wobbles, pupil dilation, quick breaths, and subtle body shifts).
Students will first learn the phenomenological approach that underpins strategies for Brainspotting, followed by strategies for identifying and processing Brainspots. Attention will be given to the utilization and integration of Brainspotting into ongoing treatment, including highly dissociative clients.
Brainspotting is adaptable to almost all areas of specialization. Brainspotting provides therapists with powerful tools which enable their patients to quickly and effectively focus and process through the deep brain sources of many emotional, somatic and performance problems.
Seminar Objectives
Through lecture, live demonstration and small group practice participants will learn to do the following:
Define the components of Brainspotting.
Utilize the techniques of "Inside window", "Outside window" and "Gazespotting".
Define how Brainspotting can be applied to Trauma, Dissociation, Sports psychology, Somatic conditions.
Demonstrate the theories and practices of Brainspotting.
This Brainspotting Phase 1 training is approved by Brainspotting Trainings, LLC and David Grand, PhD, Founder and Developer of Brainspotting. Participants will receive a Certificate of completion indicating 21 hours.
- If you are unable to adhere to these requirements please do not register for the training.
- 100% attendance is required for each day. This means it is not acceptable to leave the training for a few hours to go attend another meeting etc and then return to the training. If you are unable to attend 100% each day then do not register for the training. In case of an emergency, we are happy to provide a prorated refund of registration fee less administrative fees and you can take the training in the future.
- We remain in a pandemic along with sociopolitical issues which have caused strain in many areas to say the least. However, if you are not able to be fully present for whatever reason(s) please do not register for the training. This training is highly experiential and REQUIRES your full attention and presence. The inability to be fully present adversely impacts other attendees during experiential practicums. Opting out of practicums is NOT permitted.
- If you become ill during the training and are not able to be fully present we are happy to provide a prorated refund. Just observing is not permitted. All aspects of the training must be completed with full participation.
- During Brainspotting Trainings you will have the opportunity to both witness and practice different live Brainspotting sessions. This teaching is highly experiential and you may experience activation during the process. I encourage you to engage in meaningful self-care throughout the training and reach out to any of the facilitators for support. Additionally, please remember that the practicums are for practice purposes and while healing may occur, we encourage you to focus on issues that are well within your system's window of tolerance.
- By registering for this training you agree to the requirements and expectations
